HalcyonicStorm··on Stop Pretending You’re Not Rich
Of course, for the most part they're similar. What the article alludes to is the stratification of social classes. There are the wealthy rich, the professionals, and the working class (Of course there are more​ classes and this is a simplification). Children of the elites tend to stay elite, children of professionals are professionals, and so on. Regardless, vast majority of the people have to work to maintain their lifestyle. It's hard to feel that you made it if not working makes you lose your position.

A factor to consider is that vast majority of people still need to work to survive. There are very few people who can live off their investments.
HalcyonicStorm··on Why your digital games collection isn't yours to own
I agree. I'm not sure that PS3 games will survive into the future because its unusual architecture makes porting difficult. The most popular games may eventually have custom code that makes them playable, but there is a vast collection of games on the ps3 that won't get that kind of attention. As a side note, the previous generations (ps2, gamecube) all have great emulators.

HalcyonicStorm··on Ask HN: Would you learn Rails nowadays?
I work with Ruby on Rails in my day job in NYC. I see that plenty of companies are using Rails. I recently switched jobs and had a slew of interviews lined up before selecting my current place. I think the greater issue I saw was that companies were more focused on experience level than tech stack. It's pretty hard for a junior developer to land a gig, especially since the market is flooded by bootcamp grads.

HalcyonicStorm··on Ask HN: What is the fastest way to build an api for mobile back end?
Depends on what the requirements are. If its a CRUD backend, its hard to beat Ruby on Rails on Heroku. I tend to shy away from backends as a service because of situations like Parse shutting down. They're worth considering if its a short term project for a client.
